Enable Git submodule support

[dibyanugraha]

I use git submodule instead of putting the extension source codes directly in the repo, to my surprise it doesn't automatically initialize the submodule thus failing the automatic build.

These changes should make the workflow is able to initialize any git submodules inside the repo thus making the automatic build passes.

Tested in this repo https://github.com/dibyanugraha/d365-bc-toastui-calendar-control-addin-cicd

@microsoft-github-policy-service agree

I actually didn't know about submodules until now.
reading about it - wouldn't we have do add this to more places we do checkout?
I think you would need it during Initialize in CICD, Current, NextMinor and NextMajor as well, where we analyze the repo to determine projects and depth.

BTW - you do know that your project above is publicly visible right?

You might be right, I'll update the rest of the yaml files. At first I tried to add it in the cicd.yaml but it still didn't work, then I found it worked by adding in _BuildALGoProject.yaml instead.

Yes I'm aware it's a public repo, nothing to worry about it, I don't plan on deploy it anywhere, it's merely my playground to test.

You also need to update the same yaml files in the AppSource App/.github/workflows folder.

Done, sorry I missed those

One more thing, sorry for forgetting.

Could you add a section to releasenotes.md (under support for page scripting) following the same style, explaining what this is and how to use it (linking to github docs probably - not private repos).

Thanks.

Sure thing. I've added it though I'm not sure whether it's good enough to explain git submodule. You're welcome to make it fits.

We have decided to take this as experimental support and merge it.
It will be included in the next preview deployment.

@dibyanugraha - we have received an issue #1344 - which is another partner using git submodules for other things.

Are you only using this for public repositories?
It seems like the current implementation will only work for public submodules - or?
